Abstract
Methods and compositions are provided for determining large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms in target DNA employing particles having (1) primers complementary to sequences in the target DNA where the next succeeding 3′-nucleotide is a potential single nucleotide polymorphism and coding composition members, where the members are unique for each primer, and (2) differentially labeled terminating nucleotides, where the label permits separation of the terminating nucleotides. Desirably the particles are separated into groups having a common prevalent next succeeding nucleotide. The particles and target DNA are combined under nucleotide extending conditions, the particles separated into groups in accordance with the terminating nucleotide and the coding members identified, so that one knows the sequence and the single nucleotide polymorphism. Various protocols are provided for the determination.
